Remove the section 2 man pages
The section 2 man pages have long since been added to the man-pages package which documents all system calls; they were disabled in attr by default since January 2014. Get rid of them here.

-.SH SYNOPSIS

-.nf
-.B #include <sys/types.h>
-.B #include <attr/xattr.h>
-.sp
-.BI "ssize_t getxattr (const char\ *" path ", const char\ *" name ",

-.BI "ssize_t fgetxattr (int " filedes ", const char\ *" name ",
-.BI "\t\t\t\t void\ *" value ", size_t " size );
-.fi
-.fam T
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Extended attributes are
-.IR name :\c
-.I value
-pairs associated with inodes (files, directories, symlinks, etc).
-They are extensions to the normal attributes which are associated
-with all inodes in the system (i.e. the
-.BR stat (2)
-data).
-A complete overview of extended attributes concepts can be found in
-.BR attr (5).
-.PP
-.B getxattr
-retrieves the
-.I value
-of the extended attribute identified by
-.I name
-and associated with the given
-.I path
-in the filesystem.
-The length of the attribute
-.I value
-is returned.
-.PP
-.B lgetxattr
-is identical to
-.BR getxattr ,
-except in the case of a symbolic link, where the link itself is
-interrogated, not the file that it refers to.
-.PP
-.B fgetxattr
-is identical to
-.BR getxattr ,
-only the open file pointed to by
-.I filedes
-(as returned by
-.BR open (2))
-is interrogated in place of
-.IR path .
-.PP
-An extended attribute
-.I name
-is a simple NULL-terminated string.
-The name includes a namespace prefix \- there may be several, disjoint
-namespaces associated with an individual inode.
-The value of an extended attribute is a chunk of arbitrary textual or
-binary data of specified length.
-.PP
-An empty buffer of
-.I size
-zero can be passed into these calls to return the current size of the
-named extended attribute, which can be used to estimate the size of a
-buffer which is sufficiently large to hold the value associated with
-the extended attribute.
-.PP
-The interface is designed to allow guessing of initial buffer
-sizes, and to enlarge buffers when the return value indicates
-that the buffer provided was too small.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, a positive number is returned indicating the size of the
-extended attribute value.
-On failure, \-1 is returned and
-.I errno
-is set appropriately.
-.PP
-If the named attribute does not exist, or the process has no access to
-this attribute,
-.I errno
-is set to ENOATTR.
-.PP
-If the
-.I size
-of the
-.I value
-buffer is too small to hold the result,
-.I errno
-is set to ERANGE.
-.PP
-If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled,
-.I errno
-is set to ENOTSUP.
-.PP
-The errors documented for the
-.BR stat (2)
-system call are also applicable here.

-.TH LISTXATTR 2 "Extended Attributes" "Dec 2001" "System calls"
-.SH NAME
-listxattr, llistxattr, flistxattr \- list extended attribute names
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.fam C
-.nf
-.B #include <sys/types.h>
-.B #include <attr/xattr.h>
-.sp
-.BI "ssize_t listxattr (const char\ *" path ",
-.BI "\t\t\t\t char\ *" list ", size_t " size );

-.BI "ssize_t flistxattr (int " filedes ",
-.BI "\t\t\t\t char\ *" list ", size_t " size );
-.fi
-.fam T
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Extended attributes are name:value
-pairs associated with inodes (files, directories, symlinks, etc).
-They are extensions to the normal attributes which are associated
-with all inodes in the system (i.e. the
-.BR stat (2)
-data).
-A complete overview of extended attributes concepts can be found in
-.BR attr (5).
-.PP
-.B listxattr
-retrieves the
-.I list
-of extended attribute names associated with the given
-.I path
-in the filesystem.
-The list is the set of (NULL-terminated) names, one after the other.
-Names of extended attributes to which the calling process does not
-have access may be omitted from the list.
-The length of the attribute name
-.I list
-is returned.
-.PP
-.B llistxattr
-is identical to
-.BR listxattr ,
-except in the case of a symbolic link, where the list of names of
-extended attributes associated with the link itself is retrieved,
-not the file that it refers to.
-.I list
-is a caller-allocated buffer of size
-.IR size .
-.PP
-.B flistxattr
-is identical to
-.BR listxattr ,
-only the open file pointed to by
-.I filedes
-(as returned by
-.BR open (2))
-is interrogated in place of
-.IR path .
-.PP
-A single extended attribute
-.I name
-is a simple NULL-terminated string.
-The name includes a namespace prefix \- there may be several, disjoint
-namespaces associated with an individual inode.
-.PP
-An empty buffer of
-.I size
-zero can be passed into these calls to return the current size of the
-list of extended attribute names, which can be used to estimate the
-size of a buffer which is sufficiently large to hold the list of names.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-The
-.I list
-of names is returned as an unordered array of NULL-terminated character
-strings (attribute names are separated by NULL characters), like this:
-.fam C
-.RS
-.nf
-user.name1\\0system.name1\\0user.name2\\0
-.fi
-.RE
-.fam T
-.P
-Filesystems like ext2, ext3 and XFS which implement POSIX ACLs using
-extended attributes, might return a
-.I list
-like this:
-.fam C
-.RS
-.nf
-system.posix_acl_access\\0system.posix_acl_default\\0
-.fi
-.RE
-.fam T
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-On success, a positive number is returned indicating the size of the
-extended attribute name list.
-On failure, \-1 is returned and
-.I errno
-is set appropriately.
-.PP
-If the
-.I size
-of the
-.I list
-buffer is too small to hold the result,
-.I errno
-is set to ERANGE.
-.PP
-If extended attributes are not supported by the filesystem, or are disabled,
-.I errno
-is set to ENOTSUP.
-.PP
-The errors documented for the
-.BR stat (2)
-system call are also applicable here.
